TO yALL WHOM ITMAY CONCERN;

' the other, when the handle i's-drawn out and the masher is' in use..

Be it known that I, 4ALBERI J'. ROOF, of Peoria, in the county .ofPeoriaQand State of Illinois., have invented a new and valuableImprovement in Rolling-Pins; Aand I do hereby declare that the following`is afullfclear,

and exact description of the construction and operation of the same,reference. being had to the annexed drawings,V 'making a part of'V thisspecinat'ion, and to'gthe letters and ,iigues ofreferencemarkedthereon.'`r

The natnrefof my invention consists' in combining, with a rollingfpin,la. cal:ecutter and vegetablmasher.

Figure 1 of the drawings is an exterior view of my rolling-pin. i lVFigure 2'is a sectional view thereof, drawn longitudinally.

Figure 3 is a view of my cake-cutter, and.' Figure 4 represents myvegetable-masker. My rolling-pinl is-made hollow at thecentre, asrepresented on iig. 2, with the hollow enlarged at each end;

es shown, and itted to.receive and lhold the cake-cutterand'vegetable-masher respectively,.the handles of which become thehandles of the rolling-pin.

Letter A is a representation of the tin part of my cake-cuttcr-rml yattacned to the blockfthereof.

Letters Bare wire springs, adjusted, as shown on iig. 2, to innerportion of my vegetable-mashel. By pressing these springs against thestem of the masher, the saidstem is permitted to pass inward until theVshoulder-'Cl rests against the block D, thereby allowing the handle ofthe musher to assume the posit-ionshown on iig. 1.

' Letter E isa cap over the inner end of the stem of the masher, securedby a screw, as shown, the oiiice 4oi'- which is to hold the block D inits' proper place on one side, while the shoulder-ends-of the springs Bhold it-on The handles of my cake-cutter and vegetable-masherrespectively are, formed and shaped like lm ndles to Aan ordinaryrolling-pin, except that the handle to the cake-cutter is usually m'adein two parts, the'outer. one of l ,whichis a hollow cylinder, thatrevolves around the inner part or stem. I sometimes, also, form thehandle of the vegetable-masher in the same manner; lut inasmuch as saidlast-mentioned, handle is allowed torotatc inside the blc'k D, thehandle serves a goed purpose when made in one piece only. l

What I claim asjmy invention, and desire' to secure by Letters Patent,is- A rollingpin,- constructed in the form herein shown, and havingcombined therewith, in th'e manueldescribed, a calce-cutter andvegetnble-masher, the latter working with the springs B, substantiallyas specified.
